Writing with a quill is relatively difficult - a reed pen, as used by egyptians can be quite stiff and difficult to use, particularly for fine detailed marks. A feather quill, in contrast, is much thinner, and more flexiable, making it easier to shape and more suited to writing large amounts of text with.
In the criteria of flexaibility and ease of use, goose and swan feather quills remained un-beaten until the development of sprung steel pen nibs in the late 19th century.
